Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0168 Chapter 0168 Ella POV Hazel led Alexander and me up the stairs to a large bedroom .

It contained a four poster bed , a sturdy dresser , and a plush recliner with a quilt thrown over the back .

The furniture was heavy , hand carved wood , radiating an air of craftsmanship .

The room itself , however , was sparsely decorated just a few landscape paintings adorned the walls , and nothing more .

Please let me know if you need anything , Hazel said warmly .

I hope you have a good night .

Well be all set .

Thank you , Hazel , Alexander replied with a kind smile .

Its no bother .

If you need me , you know Im just at the end of the hall , Hazel said , lingering briefly before nodding and leaving .

When she was gone , Alexander and I stood in silence for a moment .

He walked further into the room , sitting casually on the edge of the bed.

Hasnt changed much , he commented , glancing around .

My eyes widened .

This isnt your bedroom ? It is , he confirmed .

After I moved out , they converted it into a guest room not that they had to do much to make the change .

Surely your childhood bedroom wasnt this plain , I remarked , gesturing to the room .

If you rer ved the bed , this could pass as a waiting room .

Its so … Dull ? Alexander asked , smirking at me .

Seems it only takes a little wine for you to speak your mind .

Im not trying to be insulting ; Im just surprised .

I never spent much time at home in my room , so it didnt matter to me how it was decorated .

Your apartment is just the same , I pointed out .

Very little decoration it almost looks like a showroom .

I dont spend much time there either , he said .

Im usually down in my office or working .

Thats all the more reason your room should be comfortable , filled with things that bring you joy and help you relax .

You really think that ? Alexander asked , his tone suddenly thoughtful .

And yet , youve removed all the things that bring you joy from your own bedroom , havent you ? I hesitated , caught off guard .

I suppose thats true , I admitted softly .

I walked over to a nearby chair and sat down .

Alexander , why did you agree to spend the night here ? We hadnt discussed it beforehand .

Isnt it a little awkward for you ? It wouldve been more awkward if we declined , he said matter of factly .

It wouldve made her suspicious .

Then he smirked , his tone teasing .

Why ? Are you nervous being so close to me when were alone ? I have no reason to be nervous around you , do I ? I asked , even as my heart fluttered slightly .

Of course not , he said , his expression softening .

If youre uncomfortable sharing the bed , I can sleep somewhere else .

No , theres no need for that , I replied quickly .

Its a big bed , and as I said , I have no reason to be nervous around you .

.

Well , it is late .

We should try to get some rest , I said , standing awkwardly .

Alexander got up suddenly and walked over to the dresser .

He rummaged through the drawers for a few moments before pulling out a large black T shirt and a pair of pajama pants with a drawstring .

Holding them out to me , he said , Theyll be loose , but they should do for tonight .

You dont want to sleep in that dress , do you ? I certainly dont , I said , taking the clothes from him gratefully .

Theres a bathroom through that door , he said , pointing behind me .

You can shower if youd like .

That sounds great .

Ill try not to use all the hot water .

Use all you like , Alexander replied with a small smirk .

I dont mind a cold shower .

I glanced at him , tempted to respond to his odd comment , but the playful look on his face told me he was teasing .

I decided to let it go ; it was late , and I was too tired to banter .

Taking the clothes hed handed me , I walked into the bathroom .

Unlike the rest of the house , the plumbing here seemed to have been recently updated .

The shower was surprisingly modern , with a sleek design and a rainfall showerhead .

As soon as I turned the hot water knob , steam poured out , filling the room .
